Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryKENNETH MCCORMICK October 26, 1923 - August 30, 2012 Ken passed away peacefully at the St. Boniface Hospital Palliative Care Unit after fighting a lengthy battle with cancer. He was predeceased by his loving wife Florence in 2006, after close to 60 years of marriage. Ken is survived by his only child Sandie and her husband Bob Duffill, his grandson Ryan (daughter Violet), granddaughter Kim and her husband Joel Boutet (daughters Breanna and Lauren Florence) and also by his companion of close to three years, June Ball. Ken was a gentle man who was always ready to help others. He will be sadly missed not only by his family but by his many friends. Ken served his country in the Second World War and owned and operated a grocery store before his final career as a postman until retirement in 1984. Since retirement Ken spent his summers at his cottage in Grand Beach and his winter in Palm Springs and traveling with his wife Flo. Our sincerest thanks go out to the wonderful staff of the Palliative Care Program at St. Boniface Hospital. In lieu of flowers, we would appreciate donations to be made to the St. Boniface Hospital's Palliative Care Ward. A funeral will be held on Tuesday, September 11 at 10:00 a.m., Chapel Lawn Memorial Gardens, 4000 Portage Ave. We thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new. We thought about you yesterday and days before that too. We think of you in silence and often speak your name. Now all we have is memories - your picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake - with which we'll never part. God has you in His keeping. We have you in our hearts.

Hey dad. It’s been almost 8 years. It is now almost 2 am and I am thinking of you. I think of you and mom so often and I miss you so much. I am glad you are not here right now though as there is a pandemic. Everyone is isolating and you have to stay at least 6 ft away from any other person. Yesterday was Easter instead of a family dinner and watching all the grandkids do an Easter age hunt he saw Kimand little Lauren and kind bf Raimey in the front yard for a few minutes and I couldn’t get to hug Lauren. It is a very frustrating time. Bob isn’t doing well. His MS has made him a different person and now his hearing is almost gone which is really frustrating and I need to remind myself it is even worse for him. Kim though is doing ok. She just bought a nice townhome on her own with Lauren and of course now with this pandemic she can’t work. Ruan is doing ok he is half owner in a tattoo shop he still lives with us which in some ways is a good thing. Of course during the pandemic their shop is closed. So no income there either Lauren is almost 8 and violet is almost 14 and Breanns is almost 24. They all remember you. Lauren who was a baby when you died is still sleeping in the bed that you bought her ( the bed crib. Combo ) and Kim keeps your memory alive. Anyways just wanted to update you and to let you know I think if you all the time. You live on in my heart as does mom. I miss you so much. You were my best friend my rock and my safe place - Posted by: Sandra duffill (Daughter ) on: Apr 13, 2020

Dad it has been just over 3 years and the ache of missing you has never gone away. I loved you and mom more than words could ever say. My life has never gotten back after you left. You were my rock. When I had you to talk to everything seemed ok. I still talk to you but unfortunately you can't answer.You would so have loved to watch little Lauren grow. She is a sweetie.Mom would have been crazy for her.Anyways I just wanted to tell you I love you and think of you often. I guess we will meet again some day or I hope . I know that for sure you made it to heaven with me im not so sure. I am not into organized religion but truthfully if you , mom, grandma and grandpa and auntie were there to meet me when I die it would make me the happiest person ever. Love you dad :D - Posted by: Sandie Duffill (daughter) on: Sep 08, 2015
